Pound falls to 14-month low as bond sell-off piles pressure on Rachel Reeves
UK borrowing costs rise again, with analyst warning ‘things are also getting rather ugly’

Immigrants accept lower wages, which in turn means more profits for the CEOs.

you understand "immigrants accept lower wages" is a cornerstone argument by those against immigrantion?
sure, some business will benefit, and their owners, along with customers from cheaper labour. it's just far too sweeping to assert this is the only reason for more profits, there are far more inputs, costs, business types with varying levels of immigrant labour.

The only way that back to front will take notice is if she has included some new suits, glasses and maybe a few concert tickets all free of course

Raggy dolls reference ? Impressive if so

What I find really interesting is that according to the FT, Musk has been openly discussing how he can support Starmer and Labour being otherthrown. That is foreign malevolent influence on a grand scale

Imagine he was sat in Brussels saying that rather than the US? Imagine if he was discussing getting May or Cameron out?

What you wouldn't be getting is all the progressive left/ remainers supporting that approach as the tory right/brexiteers are pandering to Musk now. In fact i suspect more people from the left would be speaking out against it (inc say a Corbyn or McDonnell)

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

given the increased productivity from technology and effects of quantative easing on asset prices in similar period, yes, it's probably a conincidence.

Mass immigration is major factor in the function of all Western economies and has been for probably the last decade. To describe it as a coincidence is to imply otherwise which is quite frankly insane

saying that we are poorer individually due to migration, and highlighting the low skills of migrants, doesn't really make a case for migration make rich people riricher.

What? You can't see how a worker army of low skilled labourers who'll basically accept any work irregardless of pay and conditions benefits the rich? Please explain how Deliveroo, Uber, Amazon, McDonald's ect... could function in the way they do without it. That's before we even get into the supply chain.

I’ve chosen no. No they won’t. Nobody is getting us out of alL this.

I thought she was a “free speech advocate” these days?

Please let this end up in court so she gets humiliated in public again.

Nobody of right mind nor of any political persuasion should be anything but horrified of the influence Musk has already exerted over our political system, nor where it may end up.

I'm more horrified by the labelling of anyone who speaks out against some Government policy being labelled as "far right". Perhaps as an American he can speak out more freely without any consequences. Last nights whip by Starmer on the vote on grooming gangs was absolutely disgusting. Nobody of right mind or of any political persuasion should be anything but horrified by that too.

This is rapidly turning into an economic fiasco after that awful budget.

The pound has fallen to its lowest level in over a year, while UK borrowing costs have surged to their highest for 16 years.

Economists have warned that the rising costs could lead to further tax increases or spending cuts as the government tries to meet its self-imposed rule not to borrow to fund day-to-day spending.
